    A 610 Metre Twisted Metal Lattice

    China’s Guangzhou TV Tower is a frighteningly – and unsurprisingly – complex building. Each of its 1,104 metal joints are different, and its foundation contains 600 electronic sensors embedded into it to monitor movement. Despite this, the restaurant on the upper level does not serve soup as the liquid’s movement alerts diners to the gentle sway of the building.
